As global demand for healthy edible oils rises—driven by health-conscious consumers and food processors alike—the sunflower oil manufacturing sector is undergoing rapid transformation. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global sunflower oil production grew by 7.3% annually from 2019–2023, with efficiency gains in extraction technology playing a central role.
Modern sunflower oil presses now integrate smart automation, real-time temperature control, and optimized screw press designs that reduce energy consumption by up to 22% while increasing yield by 15–18%. For example, one Ukrainian refinery using a semi-automated hydraulic press reported a 24% drop in labor costs within six months of implementation.
The key lies in understanding how each component contributes:
Whether you're running a small-scale operation (5–10 kg/hour capacity) or a large industrial plant (>500 kg/hour), proper setup matters. A case study from a Turkish family-run mill shows that implementing a simple daily calibration routine improved consistency in oil clarity and reduced waste by 9%.
For larger facilities, integrating IoT sensors into your machinery allows predictive maintenance—cutting downtime by an average of 35% according to a 2023 report by Industrial Automation Journal.

A Brazilian agro-processing company upgraded their manual oil press to a fully automated model and saw:
These outcomes aren’t just numbers—they translate into stronger margins, better customer retention, and faster ROI.
